The Eagles played like absolute dogs in Seattle Sunday night.

Okay, 10-2 ain't bad, but it's not what the Eagles went to Seattle hoping to accomplish. Everything seemed to go wrong for the Eagles Sunday night, falling to the Seahawks 24-10. Oh, and the rest of Sunday sucked too. The Vikings, Saints and Rams all won, which means the Eagles not only didn't clinch the NFC East, they're also no longer the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The Vikings currently hold that spot. So what happened last night? We took a look at some of the key plays in the loss, including the worst rule in the NFL, and how it totally screwed the Eagles.

He's working closely with Parks & Rec to identify the right location, but he's got his sights set on one in particular. Will Pulaski Park in Port Richmond become the city's new skater destination?
